When Ramaswamy Balasubramaniam finished his public administration degree at an Ivy League university and

returned to Karnataka, nothing much had changed on the corruption front.

The only change was the state's the-then anti-corruption watchdog (read: Lokayukta) Santosh Hegde was waging a

war against rampant corruption at government agencies.Hegde, with whom the forty six-year-old doctor from

Mysore had worked before, gave him a daunting task. Probe into the public distribution system in the state, he was

told and after a year-long investigation, Balasubramaniam came up with some startling finding: every month, the

Karnataka government loses Rs 145.8 crore because of outages in the public distribution system. By the time the

report came out, Hegde had also published his indicting report on illegal mining in the state which pegged the loss

to the exchequer at Rs 16,085 crore over four years. The two reports had one more thing in common: both

recommended use of technology to plug loopholes and inefficiencies and bring in more transparency.

The report by Balasubramaniam listed several irregularities in the public distribution system including losses due to

over-allotment, distribution problems, loss due to fake ration cards and loss in transportation, among other things.

To plug these outages, he recommended implementation of a computerised integrated inventory management

system at all levels The central database apart, Balasubramaniam - who also runs a non-profit - spoke about

technology interventions like complete computerisation of ration card database, use of smart card and GPS

tracking devices for food consignments .Computerisation of the ration card database will make it easy to identify

beneficiaries and improper classification can be traced, he says. The report is especially harsh on poor monitoring.

By using biometric smart cards, creating helplines and


RBI Assistant 2019 Mains Previous Year Paper

introducing point of sales devices, most of the leakage can be stopped, says Balasubaramaniam who is now

working with the central government on policy and administration issues.

The Lokayukta's report on illegal mining not only shook the state's political system leading to the resignation of

chief minister BS Yedyurappa but also proposed several technology initiatives to clean up the mining mess. Chief

conservator of forests UV Singh, who led the Lokayukta police in the illegal mining probe, said the current system

of granting permits to transport of iron ore was flawed and proposed a system which will track ore consignment

from the source till its destination. He also said a mechanism should be there to monitor consignments through

electronic handshakes, a method of acknowledging a transaction electronically. An integrated technology enabled

system has been recommended in the report.

To bring in transparency, he moots a database which carries information permits and trip sheets should be shared

with other departments like forest, customs and the railways and all the databases should talk to each other.

Transportation of ore is another area which needs to be strictly monitored. Checkposts networked with the central

database should be equipped with weighbridges and automated processes that checks overloading of trucks, he

recommended. Stockyard operations should also be monitored, said the report. He also says permits should be

checked automatically using radio frequency tags, video cameras and the central database should be queried on a

real time basis at check posts. While technology can bring in transparency and accountability, not all technology

efforts are a sure-shot success. For instance, the state government's recent attempts to check unauthorised gas

connections in Bangalore, created a lot of confusion following wrong keying in and uploading of data at the

consumer department's database.

When Ramaswamy Balasubramaniam finished his public administration degree at an Ivy League university and

returned to Karnataka, nothing much had changed on the corruption front.

The only change was the state's the-then anti-corruption watchdog (read: Lokayukta) Santosh Hegde was waging a

war against rampant corruption at government agencies.Hegde, with whom the forty six-year-old doctor from

Mysore had worked before, gave him a daunting task. Probe into the public distribution system in the state, he was

told and after a year-long investigation, Balasubramaniam came up with some startling finding: every month, the

Karnataka government loses Rs 145.8 crore because of outages in the public distribution system. By the time the

report came out, Hegde had also published his indicting report on illegal mining in the state which pegged the loss

to the exchequer at Rs 16,085 crore over four years. The two reports had one more thing in common: both

recommended use of technology to plug loopholes and inefficiencies and bring in more transparency.

The report by Balasubramaniam listed several irregularities in the public distribution system including losses due to

over-allotment, distribution problems, loss due to fake ration cards and loss in transportation, among other things.

To plug these outages, he recommended implementation of a computerised integrated inventory management

system at all levels The central database apart, Balasubramaniam - who also runs a non-profit - spoke about

technology interventions like complete computerisation of ration card database, use of smart card and GPS

tracking devices for food consignments .Computerisation of the ration card database will make it easy to identify

beneficiaries and improper classification can be traced, he says. The report is especially harsh on poor monitoring.

By using biometric smart cards, creating helplines and

introducing point of sales devices, most of the leakage can be stopped, says Balasubaramaniam who is now

working with the central government on policy and administration issues.

The Lokayukta's report on illegal mining not only shook the state's political system leading to the resignation of

chief minister BS Yedyurappa but also proposed several technology initiatives to clean up the mining mess. Chief

conservator of forests UV Singh, who led the Lokayukta police in the illegal mining probe, said the current system

of granting permits to transport of iron ore was flawed and proposed a system which will track ore consignment

from the source till its destination. He also said a mechanism should be there to monitor consignments through

electronic handshakes, a method of acknowledging a transaction electronically. An integrated technology enabled

system has been recommended in the report.

To bring in transparency, he moots a database which carries information permits and trip sheets should be shared

with other departments like forest, customs and the railways and all the databases should talk to each other.

Transportation of ore is another area which needs to be strictly monitored. Checkposts networked with the central

database should be equipped with weighbridges and automated processes that checks overloading of trucks, he

recommended. Stockyard operations should also be monitored, said the report. He also says permits should be

checked automatically using radio frequency tags, video cameras and the central database should be queried on a

real time basis at check posts. While technology can bring in transparency and accountability, not all technology

efforts are a sure-shot success. For instance, the state government's recent attempts to check unauthorised gas

connections in Bangalore, created a lot of confusion following wrong keying in and uploading of data at the

consumer department's database.
